How to utilize Binary Stream Multi Facility Nodes in SmartConnect.
First you must obtain and install the Multi Facility eConnect nodes from Binary Stream Software, Inc. Run the stored procedures according to the instructions supplied with the nodes. This document describes how to add the Facility ID to the GL Transaction node, however all the other nodes follow the same exact procedure. The GL node had 1 additional element that is added to the taGLTransactionHeaderInsert Node. The element is a Facility ID and it is mapped to an element called USRDEFND1.
